Polly Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Looking at the pictures, it makes me want to ask; "How many Forum members does it take to change a lightbulb/ (crew Indy)?' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to that one is not enough 1 for'ard rope 1 aft rope 2 with wandering fender each side, that concrete is not very forgiving on gelcoat 1 at the helm 1 barking orders at all the rest (I'll let you guess who that was) 1 very pretty and very good cook, tea maker and all round great company (No not Griff) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesLV Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Dinky rudders, but I guess she's not made for slow speed manouverability (sp?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I wonder if the people who fitted those "Dinky rudders" had to be "corgi registered" 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Those props are each pushing water over those rudders powered by 500bhp engines. Make the rudders large and they would get ripped out. Look at the size of that stern thruster, no need for rudders berthing. And you always have one ahead one astern at your disposal. Many modern boats of the size of Robin's boat don't have rudders the propulsion swivels like an outboard beneath the waterline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annv Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 And he has bow and stern thrusters for slow speed maneuvers. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 And there was me thinking that the stern thruster was actually for washing the crew's undies after a good vindaloo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
